Basil: Phalangist plan splits Lebanon's power zones
The article discussed the Lebanese Ministry of Energy's failure to achieve its plans to supply 24 hours of electricity daily. After a year and a half in office, electricity provision has not exceeded 4 to 5 hours per day and has reached zero hours in some areas. The leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, highlighted the shortcomings of the Lebanese Forces' plan on this issue, stating that the 2010 plan aimed to provide free electricity and generate profits, but its implementation was halted due to political and financial obstacles. He explained that the current situation is characterized by corrupt practices, such as supporting generator companies and illegally sharing profits, amid scandalous allegations related to the fuel oil and power ship deals. Policies currently in place lead to economic losses for citizens amounting to billions of dollars annually, due to resource wastage—especially reliance on fuel mafia, generator monopolies, and gang control over the sector. He called for uncovering corruption and holding accountable those responsible, emphasizing that the figures reveal the true extent of the sector’s decline and its costs to the state and citizens.
